I knew all about that but there were no assets on the ground at all because of those communications were shared. I didn't expect anything less.
But not a heavy enough price to pay militarily for Syria.
'SOME' radar install should have been a target in the southwest. Russia would be forced to provide some mobile radar to fill in the blanks and expose them further to the resistance. It could raise the costs for them on multiple fronts.
